Seed Generation

The Seed Generation virtual program will take place while in-person activities are on hold during the COVID19 pandemic. Once it is safe to resume our regular programming, we will shift from on-line learning to in-person learning.

Red Fox Healthy Living Society and Environmental Youth Alliance (EYA) have teamed up to bring like-minded youth between the ages of 15-18 together for unique volunteer experiences and opportunities from March, 2019 to March 2020. Over the course of the year, there will be 3 cohorts that will engage 14 youth over a 3 month period, engaging 42 youth in total.

Seed Generation will give youth hands-on experiences creating wildlife habitat and an Indigenous foodscape garden in Strathcona Park. They will volunteer as youth leaders at Red Fox Active Play, Feasting and Drum Group programs, helping local children be active, enjoy healthy meals and connect with Indigenous culture. The youth leaders will gain a certificate of completion for 120 Service Hours over the 3 month period.

Youth will get to design an Art installation for the garden, connect and learn from knowledge keepers and Elders from the community, and learn about decolonization and reconciliation. Each of the three cohorts will begin and end with an over-night urban camping orientation weekend and wilderness camping weekend.
